She was always saught after
by the other guys,
with her long, dark hair
and beautifully dark eyes
They were always checkin' out
her wide hips and lean thighs
Everything about her body
was just at that right size,
but, to her life,
all those guys were inferior
All they cared about
was checkin' out her exterior,
but I became superior
by checkin' out her interior
Once I saw how she was
I had no more fear of her
Once I got into her brain
I saw a personality
She was smart, funny, polite,
full of originality
Not long after that
we became good friends,
but every chance that I got
the rules I would bend
I had strong feelings for her,
but did she have the same for me?
Was I even prepared
for the pain she could bring?
I'll never know
because I'm too shy to ask,
but I'm happy being her friend
for as long as it'll last

Face the fact
that I'm never coming back
Let your tears unify with the rain drops
as they fall to the ground
Know that I've moved on
with nothing left to hold
as concerns to
the path that I chose
It's like the clouds reflect
the mood we are in
Like they know what it means
to lose a close friend
Yet, they can move away,
dissipate, and be free
From their point of view
I'd feel sorry for me
because I'm dealing with you
with the worst of results
Our best of intentions
make it no one's fault
Emotionally
I always blame you,
but logically
I know it takes two

Lord, she's so beautiful,
but she's still my friend
I've done everything I can
to keep her safe from other men
Which isn't saying much
because this girl's so smart,
but what I've tried to save
is the innocence of her heart
With every bad man in her life
I just try to remain the same
because I've worked so hard
to have such a good name
and be someone that's reliable,
someone that she can trust,
but on my side of the coin
it's more than just lust
I throw her off my scent
by mentioning other girls
Little does she know
that she encompasses my world
How can she not know
that she's what I envision
when I think of the perfect woman
and provide the description?
**** any girl alive
that doesn't think they're beautiful!
Their heads are in the clouds
and their world's in cubicles
One day very soon here
I'll help her open her eyes
and maybe she'll realize
she's known the perfect guy

I’m ready to fall in love, but not ready to be loved
I‘m prone to giving freely, but not accepting of hugs
It’s all about confidence and accepting who I can trust
And how I lack faith in someone fighting for “us”
I've experienced and witnessed people’s abandonment
If I had to go through that again I just couldn't handle it
Seen families broken apart, dealing with broken hearts
To prevent that in my life I turn my back at the start
However, I've discovered that I’m too ready to die
Because I’m afraid to live by giving love another try
I’d do anything to float in the dreams that I had built
But once reality set in it filled my brain to the hilt
Broken promises to myself have me wrought with guilt
Making me feel like I deserve to wallow in this filth
I wish I could stop myself from wanting what they have
I have to tell myself, “You never wanted it that bad.”
Confident in my decisions, better choices made me glad
If that’s the case, though, then why do I always feel sad?
That’s only until I find something expensive to purchase
An escape from the emotions, masking that I’m uncertain
On a journey to find out what the most beautiful view is
Is it my immaturity that allows me to even do this?
Driving in circles trying not to dwell on what’s hurtful
Dawn rises to reveal an overwhelming array of purple
Golden leaves on the trees rustle softly in the breeze
Gentle sun rays glisten off the surface of the sea
This is how I know someone’s trying to talk to me
To help me come to see all of the things I could be
The last step that is left is for me to just believe
In the things I have to offer and all of my various abilities
Though I've never been one to see what other’s see in me
I’m always blocking progression due to my insecurities
Yet what a hypocrite I am for the words I often convey
If given the opportunity I would build you up all day
Ironically I would mean everything that I would say
Hoping our foundation will give me incentive to stay
But nowadays I seem focused on pushing others away
The fact is this world wasn't built for a cat to be a stray
What are my options when others are too busy to play?
I guess it means I still need to grow up in so many ways

All day yesterday was the best day of my life
Nothing went wrong, everything went right
Tracking all the factors that helped make it so
Reinvigorates me to continue with my goals
There’s a thought that returns, maybe coincidental,
But there is a common thread that is sequential
Early in the morning is when I first saw you
And at the end of the day you were in my rear view
So you were there with me from sunrise to sunset
Any moment we had together I never felt upset
No awkward instances, only natural feelings
No pressure to make myself seem more appealing
You make me feel like I’m almost where I need to be
To have something that you may one day need from me
Leisurely I will continue to approach the situation
Because this is a path that I want to keep straightened
At the prime of our lives for the time of our lives
We just have to be willing to hold on for the ride
Hopefully I’ll have you before the towel’s thrown in
Together we will laugh at what could have been
All the bullets that we dodged and the ones still lodged
Deep into our hearts, but they’ll seem like a mirage
Compared to the dreams that we’ve chosen to live
After each other’s hearts that we’ve chosen to give
It feels so strange to be so close to these emotions
I’m hopeful for the future, for once my mind’s open
To all of the possibilities that life could deal to me
I’m so thrilled to see what will be revealed to me
Whatever happens to me, I need you to be there too
Since I know with you there we could see it all through
I can’t recall a single bad day in which you were involved
Even in one of your foul moods I was still so enthralled
That’s just the kind of person I will always choose to be
Doing whatever it takes to always have you with me
Especially when extreme patience is all that’s required
I’ll work hard at this job, no way am I ever getting fired
Committed until I’m beyond the age of being retired
Whistling while I work until the day I might expire
One day, to all these thought you won’t be oblivious
One day I’ll pursue you with an attitude that’s vigorous
Until that day comes I’ll patiently wait off to the side
For an opportunity to make you my source of pride
